14 Fantastic Facts You Must Know About The Popular Kids Movie 'Matilda'

Who hasn't watched 'Matilda?' I did not see it when I was still young, but I got the chance to watch it finally on television. Even though it has been 20 years since it was released, 'Matilda' is still popular among many people.

This is not only because of the adorable Matilda played by Mara Wilson, but also because of the memorable scenes throughout the film. But did you know just how much the film paid respect to Roald Dahl?

1. Mara Wilson's mother passed away when the film was still being finished.

While the team was still filming, Mara Wilson's beloved mother was told that she had developed breast cancer. Sadly, it was detected too late, and she died before the movie was completed. This is why Mara Wilson dedicated the brilliant film to her wonderful mom.
